I’m home and only a little sore.I thought the run would kill me, but my friend Katie was “the wind beneath my wings” as we bounced our way to the finish. Here are my splits, the drama to follow (like the feeling that during the run I would indeed die) in a later post…
Swim (1/2 mile): 16:20
1st Transition: 4:19
Bike (12 miles): 49:54
2nd Transition: 2:55
Run/Exaggerated Walk (3.1 miles): 33:44
Overall Time: 1:47:13
2 weeks to the next triathlon. I wonder if I can cut 9:54 off my bike and 3:44 off my run by then… Maybe I should keep focusing on not dying during the run instead… :)
By the way, thank you all for your comments full of encouragement and support. It truly fuels me and helps me push forward and keep working toward this goal.

Is it bad that i laughed at the part about you dying during your run!;-) It was funny in the i’m-not-the-one-running sort of way!
Keep it up Jen! You rock!
I’m proud of you.
Good going and hope you get a little better on your next one!
I agree with the first comment….AWESOME is the only word that comes to mind!
